Chapter 1001: What a Vicious Chicken!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
Faced with the sudden attack, Yuki calmly repeated his old trick.
"Use Protect!"
The move Protect was absolutely the most broken move in a Pokémon Contest. It would invariably defend against the opponent's move, which also meant it would invariably lower the opponent's HP.
Seemingly aware of this bug-like mechanism, the Pokémon Contest reduced less of the opponent's HP for Protect than for a typical defensive move.
But every little bit counts.
However, this scene made Blue's eyes light up.
"Now's the time, use Psychic Fangs!!"
As she spoke, a dense, pink electric energy began to sparkle on the fangs of Mawile's strange, large jaws.
A phantom image of a giant, pink fang even appeared at the very front.
CLANG!!
Psychic Fangs shattered the Protect barrier and bit down on Marshtomp without any resistance.
"Whoa, what move is that?!" Ash, in the stands, was amazed and quickly pulled out his Pokédex.
"Beep. Psychic Fangs. A move that can instantly shatter barriers like Light Screen and Reflect."
Although the official data doesn't explicitly state it, Psychic Fangs is also extremely effective against the barrier created by Protect.
BEEP!!
This solid attack cleverly and flexibly broke through the opponent's defense, causing Yuki's HP to drop by a huge chunk, immediately putting him in critical condition.
One had to know that Psychic Fangs had the same starting animation as Bite; the latter could instantly change into the former, making it impossible to guard against.
"Tsk tsk, not only is Ash this formidable, but now even the girl traveling with him is no pushover?"
Yuki felt himself on the verge of losing it, his head starting to ache.
Because he knew Mawile had also mastered the move "Sucker Punch."
This meant that for the rest of the battle, no matter how he chose to attack, his opponent could strike first and completely wipe out his HP.
"Mawile, use Fairy Wind!"
However, before Yuki could agonize over it, Mawile swung its strange, large mouth over its head, and a sparkling pink breeze immediately swept across the entire stage.
Although its power was negligible, it was beautiful to watch.
This also meant that Yuki's HP had completely reached its end.
"There we have it!! Our first contestant to enter the finals is Blue from Pallet Town!!" the host, Vivian, quickly announced, causing the venue to erupt in thunderous applause.
It had to be said, this was definitely a high-quality battle between Coordinators.
"You did great, Mawile~!"
Hearing that the battle was over, Blue finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to enthusiastically hug her Mawile.
Watching from the side, I had thought this transmigrator would be a pain... but it seems fighting her wouldn't be a big issue.
Of course, the outcome of a Pokémon Contest is more of a test of one's grasp of the rules; the gap in actual strength is much smaller.
This scene also made Yuki, on the opposite side, sigh helplessly.
He never expected that just after taking down one person from Pallet Town, he'd turn around and get sniped by another...
Pokémon Contests really weren't for him.
Marshtomp: "..."
The Marshtomp beside him had a dazed expression, staring at Yuki like a wooden fish, which made Yuki's scalp tingle again.
It seemed he really needed to find some time to take Marshtomp to see a doctor.
He wondered if there were Pokémon psychologists in this world.
As for the other semifinal match.
"Your name is May? You don't seem to be just for show, do you?"
Drew held a rose, looking at his opponent with a hint of flirtatious teasing.
However, May completely ignored him, simply waiting quietly for the battle to begin. This attitude made Drew frown slightly.
Woman, you're playing with fire!!
Bang! Bang!!
As the two threw their Poké Balls in unison, the one that appeared before Drew was, naturally, his signature Roselia.
And before May stood a strong, muscular, humanoid Pokémon with a chicken-like head, waving its agile lower limbs and sharp claws, its fighting spirit soaring.
"Oh! A Combusken?!"
Ash's eyes instantly lit up. It seemed May's Torchic had also evolved.
He wanted to get a good look at someone else's Combusken and see how it differed from his own chicken.
The Fire-type Combusken clearly had a complete type advantage over Roselia.
"Hmph~ Type effectiveness isn't the main point of a Pokémon Contest, you know~"
Drew was still trying to explain something, but May had already launched an attack.
"Quick Attack!"
SWISH!!
Combusken's speed was extremely fast. It transformed into a swift arrow of white light, and before its opponent could even react, it was sent flying.
"Tch, so much for sportsmanship..."
Seeing the expression on his opponent's face, which held no hint of joking, Drew also quickly got serious.
Then I'll show you a serious Drew!
"Use Magical Leaf!!"
Roselia swung its two rose arms, and countless green blades of light shot out, slicing through the air.
"Flamethrower!"
May's command was short and sharp.
Likewise, the Combusken opened its mouth, and a thick pillar of flame instantly incinerated the incoming storm of green leaves, burning them to ash.
BOOM FWOOSH...!!
The flame didn't even stop there, continuing to blast toward its target!
This fierce assault momentarily flustered Drew. Fortunately, Roselia's own stats were high, and it managed to dodge the flame with an elegant, dance-like movement.
Beep!
Beep!
Both of their HP dropped a little. They were evenly matched.
"In that case, use Mega Drain!!"
Roselia raised an arm, and several green vines extended like nimble snakes, completely binding the Combusken.
Sizzle!
A reddish energy flared as the vines continuously drained the opponent's stamina.
It was not very effective.
"Use Bulk Up!"
But as May's voice fell, the Combusken struck a body-building pose on the spot.
SNAP!
Its muscles bulged rapidly, and it actually shattered the opponent's vines of green light with sheer force!
"Damn it... In that case, use Petal Dance!!"
But just as Roselia began to spin in place, calling down beautiful pink petals...
SWOOSH BOOM!!
In the next instant, the Combusken had already transformed into a giant fireball, rapidly dashing toward its target.
Its speed was so fast that Roselia had no time to dodge.
Flame Charge!!
BOOM!!
The terrifying fiery impact sent Roselia, which was only halfway through its Petal Dance, flying back several meters.
It's super effective!!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Drew's HP was still half full.
"Wuu..."
However, after landing, Roselia let out a wail of pain and was unable to battle, incapable of getting up.
"The match is decided! The second contestant entering the finals is May from Petalburg City!!"
The host, Vivian, quickly shouted.
This battle... ended a bit quickly.
"Hiss..."
Even Ash and Brock, watching from the audience, couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
What a vicious chicken!
Even with the attack boost from Bulk Up... that force was truly terrifying.
And compared to sheer power, May's battle style was incredibly sharp.
"Tsk tsk, your battles are as breathtaking as ever..."
Even Yuki on the other side couldn't help but sigh in amazement, his scalp tingling in secret.
Yep, better slip away now!
